So far, special stress has been laid on two undergraduates programs: Accounting and Computer Science & Technology, which have won the strong support from Dr. Li Wenzheng, the chairman of the Board of the Lippo Group. With his support, one class of the majors has been supplied with original English textbooks commonly used in Universities in western countries, and also professors from both home and abroad are currently invited here to teach. In terms of personnel training, for enhancing the teaching of English and computer science and strengthening the moral and credit education, the university hopes to balance the students’ humanity and professional qualities. This is to improve the overall qualification of all the students and enable them to become ones with a solid foundation, broad skills and strong adaptability to face a bright future.

To achieve our goal in running this University, we put together a team of qualified teachers for every teaching position. We have worked out a preferential policy and adopted different methods (external recruiting, internal training) to strengthen our team of qualified teachers. We are urgently looking for elites in all fields to join our University’s team for a better future.
